All I Wanna Do is "Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop" and Take Your Trophy

It's a bit hypocritical of me as I spent a substantial portion of my childhood playing Army in the wooded areas that snaked through the town I grew up in (Denison, TX) but I'm not a fan of kids with guns. I'm not talking about the song, I like that, but children playing with fake guns. All I have to do is look around at the violence that sometimes plagues the community I currently call home to know that our youth has become beyond desensitized to gun imagery; I actually saw a a kid no older than 12 at the corner store last week wearing a pair of jeans that was polka dotted in Glock 9's.

Having said that...I sooooo want a fully-automatic Nerf vulcan cannon. No, I NEED a fully-automatic Nerf vulcan cannon. It shoots three darts per second and that is nothing but a good thing. I wonder if Nerf products are on the list of items banned from the HDC?
